CQ with machine embroidery

Find me in the sewing room today. 
I'm testing a technique with my embroidery machine today.

The choice technique requires a muslin foundation block fused with stabilizer for embroidery stitching.
I plan to stitch a new & recent design purchased.

This technique is Crazy Quilting in a Hexagon block, with machine-stitched designs that I recently grabbed over at Molly Mine.com .

I've been eyeballing these wonderful designs for a while and decided to purchase one of her wonderful machine embroidery files to try out.
Both my eyes & desires mighty hungry to try the technique out. I adore CQ blocks & her Embroidery designs.Why what more could a gal ask for! Not only are the designs a Crazy Quilting block layout, also hr designs are combined of machine embroidery to stitch, and resulting in a hexagon! Wow ! Thank you...  Molly Mine.com  !!!

If you wish to hop over and check out her designs, I encourage you to do so with the provided link.

In the meantime, my experiment is coming together. I selected a variety of scraps to sew on my ready-made foundation blocks that I had on hand. And went right to testing with a variety of threads and my fabric scraps. As the machine worked the stitches, I'm finding how much this pattern has potential along with a wide variety of choices. So far this is the results, and do think more is to come.

I'm having so much fun with this technique! 
Good stitching! Pat

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
